The Spanish verb engentarse can mean to be shocked or confused or
agoraphobic

aka
"I am overwhelmed by all these fucking people around me." (Okay, I added the fucking)

The fifth casing had the entire text of Kapital written on it.
The fourth casing said, "Release the Epstein files," but they haven't had a chance to report that yet.
